5 recruitment images to use on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a hugely important platform for recruitment of professionals, no matter what the profession, no matter what the location.

It has become the de facto online place for everything Human Resources (HR), recruitment, career and professional discussion.

So if you're serious about recruitment, you're very likely to be using LinkedIn as part of your recruitment strategy.

You probably also know that, even though there's a lot of recruitment opportunity on LinkedIn, it's increasingly difficult to stand out on LinkedIn and get noticed. So if you post a job opportunity, it can still be difficult to reach potential candidates.

Why is it difficult to stand out on LinkedIn?

As I mentioned above, LinkedIn is the de facto place for recruitment activities online. But because it's so popular, it means that many people are on LinkedIn trying to stand out too.

Add to that the fact that many people are posting messages, announcements, job opportunities, white papers, opinions, and more. These are all things that are drowning out your post.

Imagine it from the perspective of a well connected professional on LinkedIn: this person logs into LinkedIn, views his or her news feed, and sees a continuous and non-stop flood of posts, all trying to get attention.

So that's your competition when posting someting on LinkedIn!
